Description

Description

U.S. Pat. No. 4,137,318 describes, inter alia the compound of the formula ##STR2## and the physiologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof which have valuable pharmacological properties, namely a mild hypotensive activity and, more particularly a selective heart rate-reducing activity.

Surprisingly, it has now been found that the new cyclic amine derivatives of the formula I ##STR3## the enantiomers, diastereomers and acid addition salts thereof, particularly their physiologically acceptable acid addition salts with inorganic or organic acids, have even more valuable pharmacological properties, namely a long lasting heart rate reducing activity and the effect of reducing the O.sub.2 requirements of the heart.

This invention thus relates to the new cyclic amine derivatives of the formula I above, the enantiomers, the diastereomers, n-oxides and the acid addition salts thereof, particularly to the pharmaceutical use of the physiologically acceptable acid addition salts with inorganic or organic acids, processes for preparing them and pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds.

According to the invention, the new compounds of general formula I can be obtained by the following processes:

I. Synthetic methods for compounds wherein A, B, G, m, n and R are selected from option (i)

a) reacting a compound of general formula ##STR6## wherein A, B, E, m and n are as hereinbefore defined,

R.sub.1 ' represents a hydroxy, amino or alkylamino group protected by a protecting group or has the meanings given for R.sub.1 hereinbefore, and

R.sub.2 ' represents a hydroxy group protected by a protecting group or has the meanings given for R.sub.2 hereinbefore, with a compound of general formula ##STR7## wherein R.sub.3 ', R.sub.4 ' and R.sub.5 ' have the meanings given for R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 hereinbefore, but the hydroxy, amino or alkylamino groups contained in the groups R.sub.3 to R.sub.5 may be protected by a protecting group, and

U represents a nucleophilic leaving group such as a halogen atom or a sulphonyloxy group, e.g. a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom, a methanesulphonyloxy, p-toluenesulphonyloxy or ethoxysulphonyloxy group, with optional subsequent splitting off of any protecting group used.

The protecting group used for a hydroxy group may be, for example, a trimethylsilyl, acetyl, benzoyl, benzyl or tetrahydropyranyl group and the protecting group used for an amino or alkylamino group may be an acetyl, benzoyl, ethoxycarbonyl or benzyl group.

The reaction is conveniently carried out in a solvent or mixture of solvents such as acetone, diethylether, methylformamide, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, benzene, chlorobenzene, tetrahydrofuran, benzene/tetra-hydrofuran, dioxan or in an excess of the compounds of general formulae II and/or III used and optionally in the presence of an acid binding agent, e.g. an alkoxide such as potassium tert.butoxide, an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, an alkali metal carbonate such as potassium carbonate, an alkali metal amide such as sodium amide, an alkali metal hydride such as sodium hydride, a tertiary organic base such as triethylamine or pyridine, whilst the latter may simultaneously also serve as solvent, or a reaction accelerator such as potassium iodide depending on the reactivity of the nucleophilically exchangeable group, conveniently at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 150.degree. C., preferably at temperatures of between 50.degree. and 120.degree. C., e.g. at the boiling temperature of the solvent used.

However the reaction may also be carried out without a solvent. It is, however, particularly advantageous to perform the reaction in the presence of a tertiary organic base or an excess of the amine of general formula III used.

The optional subsequent splitting off of a protecting group used is preferably carried out by hydrolysis in an aqueous solvent, e.g. in water, isopropanol/water, tetrahydrofuran/water or dioxan/water, in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric or sulphuric acid or in the presence of an alkali metal base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 100.degree. C., preferably at the boiling temperature of the reaction mixture. However, a benzyl group is preferably split off by hydrogenolysis, e.g. with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/charcoal in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate or glacial acetic acid, optionally with the addition of an acid such as hydrochloric acid at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 50.degree. C., but preferably at ambient temperature, under a hydrogen pressure of from 1 to 7 bar, preferably from 3 to 5 bar.

b) In order to prepare compounds of general formula I wherein G has the meanings given for G hereinbefore, with the exception of the groups containing a sulphenyl, sulphinyl or sulphonyl group, A represents a --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 -- group, B represents a methylene or carbonyl group and m+n represent the number 4:

hydrogenating a compound of general formula ##STR8## wherein R.sub.1 to R.sub.5 and E are as hereinbefore defined, G' has the meanings given for G hereinbefore with the exception of the radicals containing a sulphur atom or a sulphinyl or sulphonyl group, A' represents a --CH.dbd.CH-- or --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -- group and B' represents a methylene or carbonyl group.

The hydrogenation is carried out in a solvent or mixture of solvents such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate or glacial acetic acid with catalytically activated hydrogen, e.g. with hydrogen in the presence of platinum or palladium/charcoal, optionally in the presence of a base such as an alkoxide, e.g. sodium methoxide, under a hydrogen pressure of from 1 to 7 bar, preferably from 3 to 5 bar, and at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 75.degree. C. but preferably at temperatures of between 20 and 50.degree. C.

0.79 g (3.6 mmol) of 7,8-dimethoxy-1,3-dihydro-2H-3-benzazepin-2-one are suspended in 30 ml of absolute dimethylsulphoxide and 160 ml (3.6 mmol) of 55% sodium hydride dispersion in oil are added. After stirring for 2 hours at ambient temperature and for half an hour at 40.degree. C. 1.3 g (3 mmol) of N-[2-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-3-tosyloxy-methylpyrrolidine are added and the resulting mixture is heated for 3 hours to 50.degree. to 55.degree. C. After cooling, the reaction mixture is then dissolved in ethyl acetate and extracted several times with water and then twice with 25% acetic acid. The acid extract obtained is made alkaline with 6 molar sodium hydroxide solution and extracted twice with methylene chloride. After the organic phase has been dried the solvent is eliminated in vacuo and the residue obtained is purified over 100 g of aluminium oxide (neutral, activity II) with methylene chloride and then with increasing amounts of ethanol (up to 2%).

Yield: 270 mg (19.3% of theory), IR spectrum (methylene chloride): 1655 cm-1 (CO).
